Stimming

Hi, I am a self aware schizophrenic.

I worked out very early in life how to deal with psychosis, and I will explain to you briefly in the only way I know how. So basically I concentrate on a word with a part of my body. so for example I will remember the word "angel" with my eyes, so that I'm constantly thinking of the word "angel" when I look at things, and then my thoughts are associated with things to do with angels, which is positive, so my thoughts are centred around positive things all the time.

I use it with a part of my body so that the genesis of my thoughts them comes from the word I use and that becomes the centre of my existence, allowing me to work my way around society without sucumbing to panic attacks/paranoia and even run of the mill intrusive thoughts as they are stamped out by concentrating on the word.

P.s. I found it most useful to sort of "pulsate" my memory of the word rhythmically so that I can function while remembering it.
